SUMMARY

OF HRC/NUMARC MEETING ON AUGUST 19, 1988 SUBSTANDARD ELECTRICAL EQUIPMEN4 On Friday, August 19, 1988, NRR management and staff met with nenbers of NUMARC to exchange information in regard to substandard electrical equipment issues.

The results are sunmarized below:

1.

NRC should complete their review of records from Planned Maintenance Systems on 8/9/88 and the final decision on whether or not to include this issue in the bulletin will be made. Four utilities have been identified as customers:

a.

TVA: Bellefente, Browns Ferry, Sequoyah, Watts Bar b.

SMUD: Rancho Seco c.

FSE&G: Hope Creek d.

PASNY:

Fitzpatrick 2.

In developing the bulletin on substandard electrical equiprent, NRC has cssumed that the number of replacement, moldeo case circuit breakers, purchosed commercial grade and upgraded through dedication for Class IE applications, is small.

NUMARC agreed to test this assumption and provide the results to NRC. NUMARC also agreed to find out if any utilities had any of the distributors identified in IN 88 46, Supplement 1, on their dpproved vendors list for Class IE equipment.

3.

The bulletin on substandard electrical equipment will go beyond the five originally identified companies because additional companies doing refurbishing have been identified.

Also, equipment other than circuit breakers will be included.

Copies of pamphlets from three companies were handed out (see enclosure 2).

4.

NUMARC provided a status on follow-up of items identified in the IN-88 46, Supplement 1 (see enclosure 3).

Forty-two items are still awaiting veri-fication of actual use, however, it has been determined that none of the 42 items have been used in safety related service.

Also, several utilities contacted their local distributors to determine the use of the five Cal 1fornia companies as suppliers. Out of the 27 distributors contacted, seven had some dealings with the five California companies.

5.

NUMARC had met with representatives from the National Electrical Manufac-turers Association (NERA) and Underwriters Laboratory (UL).

It was repor'ed that both expressed an interest in resolving the issue of refurbished electrical equipment.

NEMA is surveying its members for information.

UL is considering a certification process for refurbished b rea ke rs.

Currently, none exists.
